  1. Commercial Vehicle Congestion Pricing Lessons Learned TRB Applications Conference – Freight Committee May 7, 2013 SashankMusti AnuragKomanduri KimonProussaloglou Mark McCourt, Redhill Group TarekHatata, SMG Inc. Annie Nam, SCAG

  2. Motivation and Goals • Los Angeles and Long Beach - largest port in U.S. • Freight traffic set to double in 20 years • Need to understand freight transportation preferences towards pricing • Congestion mitigation strategies assessment necessary • Reduce congestion • Reduce fuel consumption and emissions • Support increased freight demand • Increase revenue for the region and improve economy

  3. Impact of Pricing on Passenger Transportation • Freeway pricing • Express lane pricing • Cordon pricing • Mileage-based pricing (VMT) • Parking fees Source: Wilbur Smith Associates SCAG Passenger Congestion Pricing

  4. Impact of Pricing on Freight Transportation • Freeway pricing • Express lane pricing • Cordon pricing • Mileage-based pricing (VMT) • Parking fees – Not tested

  5. Market Segments that were Surveyed • Freight decision making habits classified by • Trips beginning/ending at facility • Own/lease trucks • Commodity flow/service trucks • Identifiable using NAICS code • Market segments • Own trucks • Carriers • Shippers with trucks • Receivers with trucks • Service trucks • Do not own trucks • Shippers with no trucks • Receivers with no trucks

  6. Stated Preference (SP) Surveys • A total of 6,400 “Trade-off” questions • 1200 establishments recruited • No toll scenarios • Toll scenarios • Truck route 1 vs. Truck route 2 • Truck peak vs. Truck off-peak • Increasing order of difficulty in SP experiments • Adjusted for short vs. long movements • Adjusted for market segment • Experimental design adjustments made by • Time-of-day of travel • Origin/destination • Routing decision control • Time-of-day decision control

  7. Complex Experimental Design

  8. SP Experiment Route Choice – Freeway Pricing In the future, some of the highways could be tolled for both passenger and commercial vehicles in exchange for faster speeds and more reliable travel times. Which of the two options would you choose? Which of the three options above would you choose? (Please circle one) Option A Option B

  9. SP Experiment Time-of-Day Choice – Express Lane Pricing Suppose these were your transportation options to ship your goods for your regular shipment, new Truck-Only Express Lanes that provide faster, more reliable travel times may be constructed Which of the three options above would you choose? (Please circle one) Option C Option A Option B

  10. Impact of Travel Time Savings • Preference for tolled route increases with travel time savings • Preference for off-peak periods increase with travel time savings

  11. Impact of Tolls • Tolls varied from 0 cents/mile to 50 cents/mile • As tolls increase, preference for non-tolled route is greater

  12. SP ExperimentModel Results – Time-of-Day Choice

  13. SP ExperimentModel Results – Time-of-Day Choice

  14. Conclusions • Models allow for multi-strategy testing purposes • Strong preference for non-tolled routes & off-peak periods • Empirical values of time • Vary from $8/hour to $23/hour • Vary by land use, distance, pricing strategy & commodity type • Results integrated with planning model • Test impact on delay, emissions, peak congestion • Study framework can be applied to other regions

  15. Any Questions?
